FAQs: At BaseCamp

* Applies only to our holidays using Luxury Camping
accommodation *

Where will I be sleeping?

In a quality mountain tent made from high performance waterproof
material with a hydrostatic head of 5000mm. That means you’ll
stay dry even in the foulest of conditions. You will be
sleeping on a slim but remarkably luxurious, self-inflating camp
mattress, almost guaranteed to be more comfortable than the local
B&B! Our WildBike tents are designed for three, but you
will be sharing with just one other WildBiker! They also have
a huge storage area in the fly-sheet which has its own separate
groundsheet, big enough for all your kit should you choose to store
it there.

Can I have a tent to myself, please?

Yes you can, for a surcharge of £50. Please
stipulate this on your booking form.

What are the washing facilities like?

All our basecamps have clean, modern toilet facilities,
including free hot showers. This is camping, so don’t
expect granite and marble, but facilities are clean and
comfortable.

Where do we eat?

In comfortable chairs around a dining table under our superb 3m
x 6m FlexTent canopy. We have the option to leave the sides
open on warmer evenings or zip ourselves in on cooler evenings. The
whole scene is lit by low-energy, highly effective and unobtrusive
LED lighting.

What’s the social scene?

Our social hub is a huge traditional bell tent with plenty of
comfy seating and lounging space! On cool evenings we will
light the woodburner and often have a campfire outside. But
don’t think sing-songs and hi-de-hi. We might play some
grown-up music or some cool movies (a white canvas tent wall makes
a wonderful projector screen!) whilst relaxing with a beer or a
glass of wine.

Can I go to the pub?

We will usually be based a short walk or pedal from the local
pub, so of course you can. But you might not want to!

Will I have to muck in with the campsite chores?

Nope! WildBike guides will put up and take down your tent, cook
your breakfast (we’ve even got basic catering qualifications
for that!), cook your bar-b-q, wash the dishes, light your fire etc
etc.. Hey, you might want to pass the wine around or fling
another log on the fire, but that’s about it!
